boutiques
Trendy specialty stores
Boutiques are small shops selling fashionable clothing, accessories, or specialty goods, typically with a curated selection and personalized service.
The word suggests exclusivity and style over mass-market retail: She found the perfect dress at a little boutique downtown.
By extension, boutique describes anything small-scale and specialized: a boutique hotel, a boutique law firm, a boutique winery.
